Do I understand correctly, your issue is disk-space? Are you installing 
to a (slow?) small solid state disk? How big is it?

However, I would not understand issues related to cpu-speed, because my 
own netbook (Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 at 1.60GHz, 1 GB RAM) easily 
outperforms older machines I have around.
